There's this guy who posted a thoery about V being the protagonist of Shin Megami Tensei where Dante was featured (yeah the one that sprung the meme). I personally don't believe Capcom will include a crossover character, but I think V's powers and background may be based on him. He at least has 3 similarities:

1.) Their powers both involve summoning demons to fight for them.

2.) They're both 'nameless'

3.) They both have similar physical characteristics as far as what we've seen (black hair, body build and tattoos)

I'm thinking V is an original character who pays homage to the Protagonist of Shin Megami Tensei.
